Picking a Class

Picking a Class


A lot of times we stay in a class for years out of comfort, familiarity, or maybe we haven't been in class for a long time, so we want to go somewhere safe. 

Sometimes we're referred to a class with a fancy name or a fancy teacher, because we think it will look good on our resumes. 

Or we don't go to class at all, because we think we're done learning. 

Does a ballet dancer stop practicing? Does a painter stop painting? Does a musician just show up at the concert hall? 

It is a required part of our job to be constantly training. 

So how can you be sure you're in a class that is helping you achieve your goals?

Here are my: "Top Five Things To Look For To Guarantee You're In The Right Class":

1. Are there people in the class that are better than you are?
2. Are you scared to go every week, because it's hard AND leave class every week feeling great?
3. Does class energize you?
4. Does your teacher relate the work in class to the real world of life as an actor?
5. Are your fellow classmates working actors?

Any you'd like to share?
